Right on, Girlfriend!
The lady who looked after me while my mom worked had other kids in her care. I was bullied at Agnes' house besides at the school. Agnes and the other brats felt I should just "take a joke".
The parents thought Agnes was next to being the Virgin Mary as she did not charge much for watching kids since she had her own wealth from her late husband who was mobbed up. My mom still thinks this bitch is great...even though Mom is a good person but ill-informed.
So...I do go for an Agnes' Kids Reunion eons later before the woman's death. I am not beautiful or near to it. Nor am I successful in the job world. Now, I am going on Divorce #3 so many people would think my life has been a disaster. First marriage was a very short thing at age 19 to an abuser.
The good thing is how the nasty girls from Agnes' did not fare well. One had TWO out-of-wedlock kids with different fathers. Another thought she was going to be a model but fell flat on her face. She was the worst who bullied me as she was two years older. Agnes' favourite has a husband who cannot stand her along with two brats. Working and moohood ain't what Favoured Girl thought it would be even though she does well financially. Another has not dealt with her alcoholism.
I may not have achieved much and have been to my own "school of hard knocks" but I have made it out fairly sane. I work for what I want and need. Despite the marriage issue not being a "success" for me, I have no kids and am more free than the marrieds or the career women. They are still pretending to be those they are not...
"FUCK WORK"
